• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This detailed volume explores experimental strategies and protocols for the expression, assembly, characterization, and exploitation of transmembrane beta-barrel proteins. Beginning with methodologies to study their assembly, the book continues with protocols for characterizing the landscape of transmembrane beta-barrel protein interactions with other cellular factors, dissecting processes of protein transport in bacteria and mitochondria, examining structural characterization, determination, and prediction, and more. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Transmembrane beta-Barrel Proteins: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers seeking to expand our knowledge of these vital membrane-spanning proteins.
